The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) released an intercepted phone call made by a lady from Tarasivka, Zaporizhya region. She spoke with her relative or acquaintance called Serhiy, a supporter of the «russian world» who stays not far from Kherson. The woman is in tears, she cries into the phone receiver: «Horrible things are taking place! I had to act instead of my father and my husband, and now where do I hide my Sonya? They enter my house and rape her. You told me about the Banderites, and I hated them, and who do I hate now? I’ve got kids. They enter my house and rape my children, and they shoot at the legs! This is what I saw! Tell me what should I do now?» The woman tells him that the occupants who stay in the village or pass through it ask the locals where the young girls live, and they rape them. Still crying, she asks: «Dear Lord, what is happening? Why would they act like that? Why would they rape children? My Sonya is 14, and Sasha is 10!»

After liberation of Kyiv region’s town of Bucha from Muscovite occupants, it became known about dozens of cases of sexual assault committed by the occupants. Lyudmyla Denisova, Ukraine’s parliamentary representative claimed that in this town, the Russians regularly raped 25 girls and women aged from 14 to 24, and nine of them are pregnant. Psychologists report that they work with two girls from Kyiv region aged 9 and 11 who were raped by russian murderers and marauders. «The one aged 9 needed a surgery, she’s too violated. The other one suspects she’s pregnant. A gynecologist observes her condition». According to the psychologist, one of the girls was raped in Bucha, when her mom and other adults left her alone and went to get some water. A girl and one more child remained. Then, russian occupants broke into the house, raped the girl and brutally beaten up the woman who was there. 

Reports about sexual assault conducted by russians against the elderly people come from various places. Head of Kryvyi Rih military administration Oleksandr Vilkul reported that at a briefing that a 78-year-old lady was raped in Kherson region. Prosecutor General of Ukraine Iryna Venediktova claimed that an elderly woman was raped in Borodyanka, along with other residents of the town, including children. The invaders raped mothers in front of their children and girls in front of their parents, threatening to kill them. 

The russian military rape civilians not only because they feel impunity, but also because raping is a part of their military strategy, says Melinda Simmons, the ambassador of Great Britain in Ukraine. «Raping is a war instrument. Although we still do not know the full extent of its use in Ukraine, it is already clear that it was part of the russian arsenal... Women were tortured in front of their children, girls in front of their families, as a clear act of submission. The act of torture is a war crime», she tweeted.

Not only the families of the russian occupants avoid to condemn the crimes committed by their sons and husbands; they also urge them to make mess. The SBU intercepted a phone call between a Russian woman and her husband who is in Ukraine now. 

«Go on and rape the Ukrainian chicks out there. Just don’t tell me anything».

«Rape them and tell you nothing?»

«Ha-ha-ha! The main thing is for me not to know anything».

«Oh, so I can do it, right?»

«Yes, you can. Just protect yourself».

This dialogue is the best illustration of total immorality of the entire russian society.
